Infrastructure and public services are essential to promoting and underpinning sustainable economic growth.
The private sector can help improve efficiency and delivery quality in power, water, transport, and sanitation. Health and education are other areas where private investment can help.
IFC works to support private sector delivery of social infrastructure and services in sectors such as power, health and sanitation, education, water, and transport.
Emphasis is placed on advising governments in Africa on structuring public-private partnerships and removing barriers to private sector participation in service delivery with a view to improving efficiency and expanding access for the poor.
IFC also helps governments to proactively identify, package and market investment opportunities that can attract private participation.
